Review on 4D Gel Padded Women'S Cycling Shorts With Pockets And Wide Waistband For Spinning And Biking by Veronica Toledo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Waistband is my only complaint

These shorts are great. The fit is spot on, I purchased the xl, I’m 5’8” and 160-165 depending on the week. The fabric is nice and soft yet sturdy. The stitching is flat and the chamois is soft and smooth. My only complaint with these shorts is the waistband is a piece of elastic inside the fabric and it is secured with only one stitch on the very front. I’ve washed these shorts twice now and both times had to untwist the elastic that’s inside. It’s a little bit of a pain in the butt. When I put them in, I have to be sure to hold the elastic in the fabric or it will move and I will have to untwist again. I understand some sacrifice will be made for the cost, I just don’t believe one stitch (that’s literally what it is.1 stitch in the middle of the front) would have cost that much more to manufacture. Would I buy them again.I tried to, they are sold out in all colors. I got the yellow which is actually far more green than yellow, but ok. They are comfortable, wore them twice in 95+ degree weather, 40+ miles each ride. Would definitely buy again.

Pros
  • Nice looking product.Padding felt good, but did not use.Returning, as product runs small.
Cons
  • Stitching unravels after a few washes
